Transliteration:( Lahumul bushraa fil hayaatid dunyaa wa fil Aakhirah; laa tabdeela li kalimaatil laah; zaalika huwal fawzul 'azeem )
176. By this is meant that it is spontaneously uttered by the creation that he
is the Friend of Allah Almighty as in the case of Hazrat Ghaus Paak and
Hazrat Khawaja Ajmeri (May Peace of Allah be upon them) This is a great
sign of a Saint Acceptance by the creation is sign of acceptance by Allah
Almighty
177. By this is meant that at their time of death and at their time of
resurrection from the grave the angels would testify that they are Friends of
Allah Almighty, and will give glad tidings about Paradise and Pleasure of
Allah Almighty for their success
178. Thus in terms of the status given to the saints, whatever promises that
have been made for them are all true. It is the glory of Allah Almighty that
He has given description about His Friends in the part of the QUR AAN
seventh section of this Surah which indicates that Allah Almighty greatly
loves Giyarwee Shareef
179. From this emerge a few issues:
1. The true Religion is that in which the Friends of Allah Almighty are found.
2 The true definition and identification of a Saint is when the creation of
Allah Almighty calls him a saint, Another interpretation "for them are glad
tidings" is that people call him a Saint and an inmate of Paradise:
3. Although Prophethood has ended with our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله
وسلم but Sainthood would remain until the Day of Judgement. Saints would
continue to appear because their coming is a living proof of the truth of
Islam. Those branches which are laden with fruit and flowers are alive and
become linked with the root.
4. The saints are not subjected to fear of creation in their execution of their
religious dutics.
